The outriggers on my mono have never failed to latch but I have noticed t
hat if I lower the
gear/flaps/outriggers at just under flap speed=2C the outriggers do not aud
ibly latch in the down
position until approx 70 mph. I'm wondering if the down latch springs are
getting tired after 6 yrs or so?

Hi Nigel=2C
It would be of high interest for all monowheel operators to know the root c
ause of your mishap. As long as the reason is not identified it may happen
to you again! I believe there should be a way to reproduce the unlatched ou
trigger problem on the ground and find out what is wrong in your outrigger
mechanism.
Best regards
